Enclosed areas or text objects inside hatch boundaries are treated as islands.
There are four island detection styles available from the user interface:
- Normal island detection
- Outer island detection (recommended)
- Ignore island detection
- No island detection (legacy behavior that is similar to the Ignore style)
The three island detection styles are compared below:
Using Normal island detection, if you specify the internal pick point shown, islands remain unhatched and islands within islands are hatched.
Using the same pick point, the results of the options are compared below.
Note: Text objects are treated as islands. If island detection is turned on, the result always leaves a rectangular space around the text.
